Why, go home factor?

Sydney have played him mostly down back as a rebound run and carry player with their midfield depth, unless it's purely money why wouldn't he stay with the Swans now he's a regular??
He should get good money and an opportunity to move into the midfield (where he'll do a lot of damage) back in Vic. If he doesn't stay, he'll go back home first, not to South Aus.

Zac jones would be a great get. Reckon we could get him for a second rd pick too.
Dustin martin has to be number 1 on our hit list. Throw the book at him. Make it happen. It will be a move we wont regret.

Martin won't ever come here. He'll get a million dollars to stay in Melbourne. He ain't leaving for any amount.

There was media article after media article that we'd already come to an agreement with Rockliff.

Then we said "nah mate".

I'm not sure either means much. We have no idea of the truth and nor should we.
If we fail to make a GF we may as well do it whilst taking a risk to get there (assuming dusty and fyfe aren't a aikable(

Long story short - just get one of them.

So Dustin Martin is the player most likely to be effected by a hard tag in the AFL and Bryce doesn't do too well either when heavily tagged.
Guess if we get either one of them it'll free up Rory.. ;)

Martin’s SuperCoach points average plummets from 102.5 to 70.3 (-32.2 points) when he’s been sat on. Incredibly, that’s only happened six times and not since Round 22 last year when St Kilda’s Seb Ross limited him to 82 points. Fremantle winger Stephen Hill (-25.1) is the second most-affected player of the past five years, Carlton’s Bryce Gibbs (-23.4) struggles and Port Adelaide skipper Travis Boak (-22) can also be shut down. Joel Selwood was kept to a quiet 17 touches — only six of them kicks — in Geelong’s shock Round 6 loss to Collingwood, but history says diluting the Cats skipper’s dominance is achievable. Selwood has been tagged 28 times since 2012, with his ranking points going from 120.1 to 98.9. Rory Sloane has been muzzled in Adelaide’s only two losses in the last two weeks, sparking more questions over why the most damaging players aren’t tagged more often.

You are right and wrong, you're right we wouldn't offer that but wrong that he can't be bought I think that's proven from his last deal

He doesn't want to move to Adelaide, it doesn't matter how much money we offer, he has absolutely no desire to leave Melbourne.

Anyone else really hoping (it was rumoured by someone on here a little while back) that we're into D Menzel if Gov leaves? Basically the same type of player, and wouldn't cost a penny (FA). Means that we could get something like, say, Freo's 1st and D Menzel for Gov and a 2nd?

After the time and resources Geelong have put into him unless it's for very personal reasons or significant money I reckon that would be a campaigner act to go.

I agree. Not so much the campaigner but that Dan does thank the GFC for all the support. Plus he is having too much fun ;)

Pies supposedly offering $700K to Schache. Guess that tells us they have both the cap space and potential draft capital if Lever wants to go there.

But also potentially rules them out as a destination if they do land Schache.

Now that Menzel is a seriously good player and with our talented forward line he'd be even better.
